We had two match-ups between ranked opponents on the weekend. In one, Stony Brook beat St. Bonaventure 35-33, and in the other, LSU took down Arkansas 46-17.

For its win, LSU jumps ahead of idle Oregon State, Arizona State and Arizona. For its loss, Arkansas drops from the list. Stony Brook was already ranked above St. Bonaventure, and that remains the case. Both teams slide a little bit, as we add Buffalo to the Top 25.

Lindenwood continues to crush everyone in the Heart of America, hanging 118 points on Iowa State. The Lions are now winning their league games by an average of 90 points a game, and that total could increase as they have some pretty weak teams left on their schedule in Kansas and Oklahoma State. For their dominance, we move the Lions ahead of UCLA.

Making their debut in the rankings this week, along with Buffalo, are the Pittsburgh Panthers. They’re 5-0 in their first season in DI and have nearly shored up a Keystone Conference championship.

Dropping out, along with Arkansas, is Florida. The Gators are off to an uncharacteristically poor start this fall, with a loss to North Florida Saturday knocking them to 1-2.
